Interface

Most of the features on the Vu are accessed through its 3" diagonal touch screen. The phone has Call, Clear and End buttons below the screen, and a volume rocker, Lock/Unlock button, and camera button along the right side. The Vu also contains haptic feedback which is a vibration felt when the touch screen is touched. Like the popular LG Prada it has the famous fish or butterfly following the touch of your finger on the screen.
